The officials worked enthusiastically and left nothing to he desired. The Municipal Band attended and played an acceptable programme, l There Were several sideshows to attract and interest the public, and the holders of the refreshment rights did well. ■ The afternoon tel* booth, however, was greatly missed by the ladies and this should be provided for at future gatherings.
